Abstract

Cryptography is the study of codes. These codes are generated in advance and are meant to be kept secret. There are three primary functions of Cryptography: Secret Key Cryptography (SKC), Public Key Cryptography (PKC), and Hash Functions. These functions play a role in database security, game theory, cybersecurity, and cryptocurrency. Cryptography is essential in order to keep our identity and personal information secret so we will not be robbed of either. This poster will show how Mathematics and Cryptography go hand and hand.
